Nanke didn't insist anymore and turned around and went upstairs.

Not long after returning to the room, there was a light but rapid knock on the door.

"The door is open, please come in."

A hunched black figure flashed in through the crack of the door.

Nanke put his finger on his forehead, watching the thin black mercenary close the door like a thief, and asked knowingly: "Is something wrong?"

"Uh, Miss Gui'an..." He originally wanted to say a few words of flattery, but when she asked, the thin black mercenary had to swallow it and smiled with two rows of white teeth, "I came here to ask you about running errands." , I am still happy to serve you."

"You also saw that Adele is in the way." Nanke said.

"His temper, which is harder than a stone, has always been very hateful." The skinny black mercenary showed empathetic disgust on his face, "But I have my own ideas. After all, Miss, you are a relative of the scholar, and we are here to guard him." ...Well, to protect you, as long as you find a reason to complain to Adele, he will probably lose his job, and you will be relieved."

Nanke raised his eyebrows slightly: "If there is no Adele, maybe there will be Adelaide No. 2."

The thin black mercenary smiled slyly: "You have some connections in the thirty-man group. It's easy to arrange for a discerning friend to serve you."

"Really?" Nanke's tone was flat. After looking at him for a while, he asked, "Then, what if I run out of Mora?"

The skinny black mercenary's face changed exaggeratedly: "Look at what you said! How can my loyalty to you be measured by money?"

Nanke lowered his head and pursed his lips, holding back, but still couldn't help laughing: "Okay..."

Nanke snapped his fingers, took out a dark purple thunder wedge, and threw it in front of his face.

"Take this," Nanke deliberately lowered his voice, "As long as you dare to betray me, it will kill you immediately."

The thin black mercenary's eyes widened suddenly, and he retreated like a snake: "This! I'm afraid..."

He was incoherent, and a cold sweat ran down his forehead.

"It's okay if you don't accept it." After a moment, Nanke recalled the thunder wedge to his fingertips and said in a light voice, "Help me do something, and I will admit your loyalty."

"You say!"

"Get me a pen and paper."

The thin black mercenary opened his mouth in confusion: "Huh?"

Nanke narrowed his eyes slightly: "You can't even do the things I casually mentioned, right?"

"It can be done! It can be done!" the thin black mercenary said repeatedly, quickly adjusting his expression, nodding and bowing, "Leave it to the young one! The young one will definitely fulfill his mission!"

Nanke watched him close the door and go out, raised his head and let out a long sigh, stretching his muscles.

Pretending is a tricky business.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned.

When Adele came to the door, Nanke Zhengxu held the grass seeds he got from the Seven Heavens Statue, opened the void terminal and tried to search for relevant information.

Since getting it, she has tried water elements, fire elements, and thunder elements, but the grass seeds have always been in an untouchable virtual state.

It's really confusing.

"come out!"

There were shouts from outside the door.

Nanke collected the grass seeds, got up and opened the door.

Adlay and the hotel proprietress stood outside the door.

"Come with me." Adele then said in a deep voice.

"What to do?" Nanke asked warily.

Adele didn't answer, but stared at her coldly, urging her silently.

Nanke was taken to the first floor by them.

The first floor is where the mercenaries live.

In the most remote room at the end of the corridor, two mercenaries stood guarding the door with arms folded. When they saw Adele, they nodded silently and opened the door.

There are more mercenaries in the room.

Everyone exuded a murderous aura, standing or sitting around the people with their hands tied and kneeling on the ground in the center of the room.

In just a few hours, the thin black mercenary had been beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he was silent.

Nanke stopped.

The door closed behind them, and all the mercenaries put their hands on the weapons on their waists as if helplessly.

"He said you sent him to buy pen and paper," Adele turned around, frowned and stared at Nanke and said, "You should know that the use of pen and paper is prohibited here."

"I know." Nanke flashed slightly.

"Do you want it, or do you want it for the lame old man?"

"it's me."

Nanke answered without hesitation, which made Adele's face darker. He stretched out his hand to the side and hummed, and a mercenary handed a brand new pen and paper into his hand.

Just when Nanke looked at the pen and paper, he saw Adele clenching his fingers hard.

The slender quill was broken, and the leather bag containing ink was crushed. The ink instantly splashed and dripped, and the snow-white paper was in a mess.

Adre threw the destroyed pen and paper in front of the thin black mercenary's knees: "He also said that you are the holder of the Eye of God."

Nanke couldn't help but take another look at the thin black mercenary.

The latter shivered and said miserably: "Miss, I have no choice but to help me, please help me..."

The expectant eyes of the thin black mercenary made the surrounding mercenaries even more alert. Several blades were unsheathed with a "swish", and the cold light was cold.

Nanke looked around them and said calmly: "I don't have the eyes of God."

The thin black mercenary showed an expression of disbelief and approached her on his knees: "Miss, I know I'm not doing well, but I'm in this situation because of you. You can't leave me alone!"

"Gag his mouth!" Adele kicked him over. After his companion had gagged the thin black mercenary, his suspicious eyes fell back on Nanke's face again, "You mean, he is framing you. ?”

"I don't know what he told you," Nanke said expressionlessly, "but I really don't have the Eyes of God."

The void terminal next to Adre's ear kept flashing, probably for a lie detector test. He looked at her and then at the thin black mercenary on the ground, his expression gradually becoming strange.

Of course Nanke didn't lie.

Every sentence is true.

Adele was silent for a while, then said to the proprietress behind Nanke: "Search her."

Nanke was pushed into the bathroom by the landlady.

There was only one bright overhead light in the cramped space. The proprietress closed the door behind her back and ordered: "Take off your clothes."

Nanke froze.

Through the bathroom door, which has no chain, I can still vaguely hear the voices of men outside.

"Hurry up." The landlady urged impatiently.

Nanke took a breath, turned around, and raised his hand to unbutton the button.

Degrees and seconds are like years.

A few minutes later, Nanke got dressed again and followed the landlady out.

The landlady shook her head slightly at the mercenaries.

Adray sighed briefly.

"Tsk," one of the mercenaries spat in disgust at the thin black mercenary, "this is a waste of time for us."

"This kid usually doesn't speak the truth."

"It's really nothing to look for!"

"Can I go back?" Nanke suppressed the coldness in his voice.

Adele turned sideways and opened the door for her: "Sorry."

"I heard you can file a complaint." Nanke said as he stepped out of the threshold.

Adele was silent for a moment: "I will apply to manage that lame old man, and someone else will be in charge of you."

Nanke didn't say anything else to him and walked away quickly.

That night, Nanke took a long bath.

The thought of being forced to be naked through a door while so many people were standing outside.

She was so disgusted that she had goosebumps all over her body.

At night, I slept on the pillow of a skirmisher.

Her nerves were a little sensitive. In the middle of the night, a slight movement woke her up. Then the pillow in her arms was taken away. Nanke raised her head in horror, and her whole body was immersed in the familiar crisp smell.

"Nightmare?" the skirmisher asked in a low voice.

"...It's okay." Nanke shook his head and curled up close to him.
